This truck runs great as is per Freightliner, who just finished $2k in Servicing last week!
This Truck is California OK (Can be titled/registered in California) as it has not failed out of the CA Smog test game in the past or otherwise identified. . .nor does it owe $1730 in Cali DMV fees like those others identified.
It will need a new UEGO kit with O2 sensor to turn off check engine light (to pass Cali test again?)
Compressed Natural Gas Powered 2008 Freightliner M2 Business Class Service body Air Compressor truck.
This truck is in great shape and fresh off corporate rotation that included a rigorous maintenance schedule typical of large utility company. Exterior painted 2 months ago.
Vehicle runs great and shifts smoothly with its push button automatic.
This would make a great service truck as is: Powerline, Cable, telephone, mechanic, most any trade. . .
Or change out service bed for a Dump bed. . .you get the idea. The options are many, and those whom can think outside of the box will be getting a deal!
Either way, CNG is considerably cheaper than diesel in most places, and roughly half the cost of diesel if self filling!
I will also lend the winning buyer all of my knowledge in regards to obtaining an affordable self-fill setup for your office; and have more of these CNG M2"s if you were looking to build a fleet.
IF you have an interest but are on the fence shoot me an email and I will gladly spend the time to walk you through the pro"s and con"s for your business.

======================================
About this CNG Powered Setup:
8.1L John Deere 6081H CNG powered. This model CNG engine was derived from a diesel based engine from the ground up
so the high torque # are still there unlike gasoline based conversions.
This is no conversion. It is a true CNG engine and setup. I can"t stress that enough in terms of quality, safety, etc.
In fact this is THE engine model that the NREL focused on during several years of Government trials and studies
in an effort to stay ahead of California and Federal Emissions Standards for large Fleet/Gov"t entities.
Please see one such study: here
or from here :
On a diesel-gallon-equivalent basis, the John Deere CNG buses exhibited a 9.0% fuel economy improvement compared with the MY 2004 DDC diesel buses
and a 2.9% improvement compared with the MY 2000 DDC diesel buses. . .
It also set the benchmark for lower emissions in real world testing.
